Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 96 Rahu in Action

Kirin Valley.

The First Qilin suddenly looked up as if it sensed something, and its figure instantly disappeared from the secret chamber. When it reappeared, it was already on a mountain peak in the valley.

A streak of light descended from the sky, merging with heaven and earth, and materialized into a human figure beside the First Qilin. After a few breaths, the figure solidified.

The man was dressed in a black robe embroidered with several lotus flowers. His long hair, about a foot off the ground, fell loosely over his shoulders without any restraint.

With black hair and black eyes, those eyes seemed to hide an endless abyss, capable of drawing people's minds in and making them sink into it without them even realizing it.

He stood barefoot on the mountaintop, his hands behind his back.

The First Qilin was positioned slightly lower than Rahu, so from his perspective he could only see its back, making it appear both real and illusory.

Since Rahu appeared, the First Qilin felt endless wronged souls around him, trying to pull him into the abyss. Even with his current fortune and cultivation, he was unable to escape them.

"I was unaware of the Demon Ancestor's presence and have failed to greet you properly. I hope the Demon Ancestor will forgive me. But may I ask why the Demon Ancestor has come?"

The First Qilin didn't even dare to address Luo Hou as a fellow Daoist, after all, this demon was different from Hongjun, and nothing good usually happened where he appeared.

Moreover, he was ruthless and merciless. Qilin would rather offend Hongjun than let Luo Hou pay attention to him.

After all, once you're targeted by him, nothing good will happen; endless trouble and danger are sure to follow.

Luo Hou didn't care about the title of the First Qilin or the unwelcoming attitude; he was used to it, even in the West.

He turned around and glanced at Shi Qilin, only to find that he was still the same as always, with a mild and honest demeanor.

These seemingly honest people are actually more ruthless than me. They even have the idea of ​​starting the great calamity ahead of time. Aren't they afraid of really burying all three races in the calamity?

Although Rahu was thinking these things in his heart, he did not reveal them, but instead said:

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for that. I've come here to find a way for the Qilin Clan to survive."

Because of Luo Hou's address of "fellow Daoist," the First Qilin became extremely cautious, and couldn't help but think:

A way out? It's probably a dead end. When has the Demon Ancestor Rahu, the number one source of calamity in the primordial world, ever been so kind?

"The Demon Ancestor laughs. Our Qilin clan is developing steadily and thriving. How could we possibly be seeking a way to survive?"

The First Qilin looked puzzled. Although he didn't know what Rahu wanted, he figured he could just refuse whatever it was. As a Western being, he had no right to interfere with the Easterners.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for that. We both know your predicament perfectly well, so there's no need to spell it out. What I'm about to say will benefit both of us if we work together. Divide it up? Heh."

Luo Hou chuckled softly, not revealing the consequences. After all, if they didn't cooperate, he would die in this great calamity, and he and Hongjun might die in the next one.

It wouldn't matter if Hongjun died, but he couldn't put himself in danger. Even if he didn't think he would lose, he didn't want to increase any risk.

The First Qilin hesitated. He did not want to cooperate with Rahu, but the current predicament determined the future of the Qilin clan, and he was unwilling to start the great calamity prematurely before he was fully prepared.

So after a moment's thought, the First Qilin said solemnly:

"Please explain what you mean, Demon Ancestor, otherwise even if the Qilin Clan is in a predicament, it is impossible for them to cooperate with you."

Luo Hou smiled with satisfaction. He knew that Shi Qilin would definitely not refuse. After all, he was someone who wanted to start the great calamity ahead of time. With hope appearing before him, how could he not seize it?

"The predicament of the Qilin Clan is nothing more than the lack of fortune. I have a plan to solve it. All you need to do is guide the demonic resentment and evil energy beneath the eastern earth veins to the west."

"This matter is also beneficial to the East, and it should be a minor issue for the Qilin Clan."

Rahu said.

In fact, he didn't care about that bit of demonic resentment and evil aura. He just thought that if he didn't let it do something, the First Qilin probably wouldn't obey his arrangements.

Upon hearing Luo Hou's words, Shi Qilin breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was not difficult for the Qilin clan, and it led to the west. Logically and emotionally, he should not refuse.

Moreover, needing such a thing also aligns with Rahu's image in his mind.

Only then did the First Qilin agree:

"Please teach me, Demon Ancestor."

This is precisely what troubles Rahu. His past reputation was too bad, and when he genuinely wanted to help others, no one believed him without some kind of deal involved.

The transaction details also need to be consistent with the image, and you need to gain some advantage yourself, preferably by making them suffer a loss, so that they will feel at ease.

"The way of destiny is extremely profound. Although I don't know much about it, I do have some insights. Let me explain."

Luo Hou gave a detailed explanation of how to gather the power of destiny so that they could conquer and rule over the various races of the prehistoric world. He rambled on for three days.

The story only stopped when it reached the point where the First Qilin's face turned as black as ink, but at least the method was explained.

"I thank the Demon Ancestor for bestowing upon me the power."

Shi Qilin gritted his teeth in hatred and refused to say another word.

Luo Hou was also helpless. Sometimes things are just that simple, but he couldn't solve the problem with a single sentence, otherwise he would really offend the Qilin Clan.

"Now that you know, I will not linger in the East any longer. Farewell, and remember, you must not let Hongjun know of those resentments."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Hou's figure disappeared into the air like ink dripping into water, leaving only Shi Qilin on the mountain peak.

"Rahu, the mighty Demon Ancestor, how could you be so shameless?"

The First Qilin's voice was very low, so low that even he couldn't hear it.

However, he also knew that the method Luo Hou mentioned was indeed the only solution to the current predicament of the Qilin Clan, which was undoubtedly much better than starting the great calamity ahead of time.

Just because of this one sentence, he dragged it out for three days and even made the Qilin clan do hard labor for him, which they had no choice but to do.

This feeling of frustration left Shi Qilin feeling helpless, and he could only blame his current weakness.

When the First Qilin decided to try to subdue and rule the various races of the prehistoric world, it immediately discovered a change in fortune, with the fortune Qilin becoming much fiercer and more solid.

This change must have been the idea of ​​the Qilin Clan, prompting them to begin preparations and set the start date for their plans to be after the Phoenix Clan resolved the crisis at the Undying Volcano.

Taking advantage of the favorable timing and location of the return of moisture to its original state would greatly reduce their losses and also provide a good reason for disaster relief.

Coincidentally, both the dragon and phoenix clans had their own plans for this time.

Although they are not the same as the Qilin clan, they are plotting the same thing: to bring good fortune to all living beings scattered throughout the world.

Although the operation to backflow the immortal volcano has not yet truly begun, the new generation of protagonists of heaven and earth are already planning for the future.
